Possessions are just "STUFF" that you choose to carry around like a ball and chain your entire life. Personal regrets are like a bad haircut that you refuse to change, for fear of making things worse.
Me, I like to think of my issues as completely transitory, like "water under the bridge, being washed away with the tide"!
I have my moments of rants and raves, but they pass quickly and I move on to more constructive pasttimes.
Too many people put things off, don't take care of a situation until it becomes a travesty, tragedy or fiasco and then become overwhelmed because they procrastinated too long.
I have brothers that are following in my father's footsteps, and aren't taking care of their general health.
I have been having regular annual checkups for decades and I do my best to keep active and eat as heathily as possible.
Overall, I would say the more important thing to remember is that we are not alone in this world. You have friends and family, and as long as you ARE a friend, you will HAVE a friend.
All I can hope for is that when I die, that I am remembered for more positive things than any negative ones, and that I will be missed.
Hope you all have a great hiloday, and enjoy your friends and family!
